    Geek
In summary, Daniel is a geek who doesn't fit the traditional definition of a nerd. He's intelligent and has a lot of interests, but he doesn't fit the stereotype of the socially awkward person who is fascinated by knowledge.

Pff Dex, I certainly hope you don't let someone get to you like that in the thread killing champ thread.
 
  • #146
Nope,not a chance.Though I've seen attempts to keep me away...:mad:

Not me. I was 6'-0" tall in High school and pretty good at basketball. That was one of the few things that kept me from being a total nerd in school. Before they found out I was good, I would be the last one picked for a team, then I would kick their butts and I was picked right off the start next time.

So, AArrrrrrggggghhhh I be a seafarin', rum guzzlin', harrrrrd drive installin', wench lovin' (don't tell the wife I called her that), basketball playing nerd cap'n with a Spanish/Mexican God complex, I guess. Arrrggghhhh.

Well, I'm not sure whether you should admit it or ask for a second opinion, but you should at least say "Avast, ye matey, I be a pirate nerd! YAARRGHH!"

This thread is for pirate nerds, not normal nerds. :smile: (Well, blow me down! This forum don't have no pirate smilies!)

When I took the test (last year when it was first posted) I made either 42 or 47%, I was a "major geek".

Seriously, i was into heavy metal (still into it now) before I got into physics. And of course, I know nuts about computers, and really can't be arsed to learn anything about them. I use XP and have not updated it for eons, that says alot, i guess.

Yeah it says that you've been doing the computer equivalent of having sex without a condom in a third world country with AIDS rates of greater than 50%.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out someone has completel access to your system by now.

A recent study showed that within an hour a system running XP SP1 was completely runnning under remote control and was being used to attack other systems, and had been subjected to over 4,000 separate attacks, and stopped almost none of them. All in a single hour of being online.

Yarrgh! But not for good!

We merely be 'trollin' the high seas in search of Bounty (It's the quicker picker-upper, you know). Alas, we only found Scott paper towels - cheap millionaires they be that stock their galleys with Scott instead of Bounty! Yarrgh, we sent those misers to Davy Jone's Locker!

Yes. Not really...I don't care. LOL. Yea, I love chemistry and math and listen to southern gangsta rap...I don't think I'm a nerd.
 
  • #163
I don't have time to take the test or even read past the first couple of pages in here. Will do so when I get home from work. Meanwhile, I submit that the term 'nerd' was invented by the writers of the 'Happy Days' show because you weren't allowed to say 's**t-head' on TV. (Nor here, apparently. :biggrin: ) At least, I certainly never heard it before that. Anyone else?

Actually, that was just the top one on the list - I got a 40mm one (100w or so, iirc). I may use it to chill my beer: http://www.stud.ntnu.no/~arnesen/peltierbeer/

Or, perhaps, to cool a ccd camera for my telescope.

i am a nerd because:
most people, except other nerds, shun be because intellect is not cool
tom clancy books are now light reading for me (tom clancy books are often 5 inches thick or larger)
and i have very large thick glasses, have a pocket protector, and wear a pencil in my ear





(just kidding about the last part, i do have some self-respect)
